Doslo vrijeme da se umire
Azra · Other Songs - Azra
noseci lance i verige
da porobe svijet u ime mira
O Boze kakva sila
kakva psiha
jadna bila
sram i blijeda zauvijek
Bilo jedan bilo dva
bilo tri ili cetiri
ja kazem nema druge
nego da se pricepi
O, Boze kakva sila
neka bude sto biti mora
doslo vrijeme da se umire
Da li pet, da li sest
da li sedam ili osam
mala je zemlja sada
za sve sto mrze rata
vi muskarci ili zene
djeca i ljudi zauvijek
Doslo vrijeme da se umire
Azra's "Doslo vrijeme da se umire" stands as a defining track from the Croatian pop-rock band's 1992 album "Other Songs." Released during the turbulent final year of Yugoslavia, the song captures the raw emotional intensity and existential dread characteristic of the era. Azra, led by singer Zoran Simić, blended traditional folk melodies with modern rock instrumentation to create a sound that resonated deeply with the region's youth. This recording exemplifies the group's ability to transform personal melancholy into a universal anthem, reflecting the collective anxiety and longing for stability that permeated the Balkans at the time. The track remains a cornerstone of their discography, showcasing their signature style of poetic lyricism set against driving guitar riffs.
